Thanks for the comments Sam and Maddy - I'm surprised you need to take it out for cycling?

I went cycling last weekend and thought about this specifically. It doesn't seem like it will be a problem because that's not where I sit. Is there anything else you have to take it out for? I don't want to have to take it out at all.

Yasmin - I haven't yet had to take it out for cycling or anything else. I just think I will when I do longer stuff but thats because I am worried about stretching the hole since the hood is only skin, I use a range of positionsover longer distances just to relieve the pressure - it will probably happen slightly over time anyway but I don't want to accelerate it

Oh definitely remove it for a wax - you risk a very nasty tear otherwise.

I don't see a need to remove it for any other reason or purpose. The only discomfort you may have cycling or wearing very tight jeans is if you are wearing a very bulky piece of jewellry like a barbel...if its just a bog standard 18 guage ring with baubel join you will be fine
